Use the eye protection and instructions supplied for the specific device; closing your eyes is not a universal substitute.
Understand the dose
Session length, device settings, distance, temperature and individual tolerance change the experience. A time recommendation from one device cannot automatically be transferred to another.
Begin conservatively and follow the protocol supplied for the actual service.
Separate evidence from marketing
Research often examines a specific population, device and outcome. Promising findings do not justify claims that a general wellness session cures disease, removes inflammation or guarantees recovery.
Bodi Boutique uses careful, evidence-led language and does not position wellness services as medical treatment.
Screen before starting
Pregnancy, photosensitivity, heat intolerance, cardiovascular conditions, neurological issues and medicines may change suitability. Seek individual medical advice when relevant.
Stop for dizziness, chest pain, severe headache, visual disturbance, nausea or other concerning symptoms.
Prepare and recover
Arrive normally hydrated, follow eye or heat precautions, and allow a calm recovery afterwards. More exposure is not automatically better.
Do not use alcohol, dehydration or a hard workout as a reason to push beyond comfort.
Set realistic expectations
Choose one practical reason for the session and observe your response over time. Relaxation can be valuable without being presented as proof of a clinical effect.
Avoid precise promises that the available evidence cannot support.

Frequently asked questions
The practical conclusion
Use the eye protection and instructions supplied for the specific device; closing your eyes is not a universal substitute. Use the guidance above to make a measured choice and reassess when your circumstances change.
Why the device instructions come first
Red and near-infrared devices vary in intensity, beam spread, treatment distance and intended use. A panel designed for whole-body exposure is not the same as a low-power home mask or a clinical device directed at a small area. Use the protection supplied or specified for that exact equipment.
Closing your eyes is not a universal control
Eyelids reduce visible brightness but are not a substitute for equipment-specific guidance. Near-infrared light is not judged by brightness alone because it is not fully visible. Do not improvise with ordinary sunglasses unless the manufacturer states they provide suitable protection.
Practical eye-safety steps
- Confirm whether goggles are required before the session starts.
- Use protection that fits securely without gaps.
- Maintain the stated treatment distance.
- Do not stare directly into LEDs while positioning yourself.
- Stop for eye pain, persistent spots, headache, marked discomfort or vision change.
Who should ask for individual advice?
People with eye disease, recent eye surgery, light-sensitive conditions or medicines that increase photosensitivity should speak with an appropriate health professional and the device provider before exposure. Tell the studio about relevant concerns rather than assuming a wellness service is risk-free.
If symptoms continue after a session, obtain prompt eye-care advice. A cosmetic or fitness provider cannot diagnose an eye injury.
Frequently asked eye-protection questions
Are tanning goggles suitable?
Do not assume so. Protection should match the wavelengths, intensity and instructions of the red-light device. Use only what the provider or manufacturer specifies.
What if goggles feel too loose?
Pause before exposure and ask for correct fit or suitable equipment. Do not hold them in place while trying to complete a session.
